Catalina Campos, an 11-year-old girl, loves helping the elderly. Her story of kindness began when she was three. Since her mom worked at a nursing home, Catalina went there with her a lot. During festivals, she would prepare small gifts for people there, bringing joy to them.
As Catalina grew older, she wanted to do more. She founded a non-profit organization (非营利组织) named Circul KC. The purpose is to let other kids join the charity event to show kindness. On Mother's Day, they packed flowers with heart-warming cards for the elderly women. They also gave out hundreds of cards on special days, each with best wishes written on it. Besides, they collected donations (捐赠物) of medicine and clothes for the elderly. Then they set everything up at different places around the city, and people could take what they needed for free.
The name Circul KC has a special meaning. Catalina explained, "When somebody gives something to us, we can give it to somebody else. Then they can give it to somebody else. It makes a circle of kindness." A lot of kids are afraid to try new things. Catalina often tells them, "Don't be shy and nervous. Just smile and you can do it!"
“Believe in yourself.” “It’s okay to be different.”
These are a few of the encouraging messages that callers can hear when they call the PepToc Hotline (热线). It is part of an art project created by teacher Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss with students at Westside School in California. The hotline took off after it started. People called from around the world.
This was a surprise. “At first, we wanted this project to be just for our little town,” Martin said. The town had been through a hard time because of the wildfires and the pandemic. But her students were tough and stayed happy.
The PepToc project has two parts. One part is inspirational(鼓舞人心的) posters. Students put them up around the town. There were more than 150 posters. “Kids just ran with them,” Weiss said. The other part is pep talks (激励的话). Martin invited kids to record these pep talks for the telephone hotline. In its first several weeks, the hotline got millions of calls.
“People need something to make them feel good in these difficult times,” Darin Juric told Time for Kids. He is a student who took part in the project. Mart in agreed. “It really does just take a few words of kindness to spread joyar ound the world,” she said.
The charity Oxfam has shown that UK people bought 32% more second-hand clothes in 2022 than they did in 2018.
The charity gave out its findings as it started its yearly Second Hand September activity, which encourages people to buy used clothes, rather than new. Oxfam also wants more people to give away unwanted clothes so they can be reused, and to repair clothes they already have so they will last longer. Some people set themselves the challenge of not buying any new clothes during September.
Buying second-hand clothes is becoming popular in the UK. Besides charit y shops, there are stores selling old clothing that shows past fashion, as well as online shops such as Depop and Vinted. Depop says that 90% of its users are under the age of 26.
Buying second-hand clothing is good for the planet because making and selling new clothes can be one of the reasons for climate change. This is partly because getting the right cloth, as well as making the clothesthat emselves, can use lots of energy and water. Also, new clothes are often carried around the world to be sold in shops. Lorries, planes and ships give off "greenhouse gases" such as carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). These keep the Sun's heat in the Earth's air and make temperatures rise.
Oxfam says that if everyone in the UK gave away all the clothes they had not worn in the past year to charity shops, as much as 4.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide could be stopped from getting into the Earth's air. That is the same as the waste from a plane flying round the world more than 6,600 times.
“Choosing second-hand clothes gives people a way to take action,” said Lorna Fallon. “Shopping this way sends a clear message that people want and expect things to change.”

I often read about children living in the mountains of China. The ey don't have enough learning resources, especially for English. I believe English is not just a language — it also gives people the chance to see the world differently. So I started thinking about what I could do for these children.
Then, I came up with an idea: to make special English learningma terials! More than 10 classmates joined me, and we started a club called "Out of Mountains".
Our English materials have three parts: listening, reading and writing. We decided to publish them every month and send them to children by email. We also built a website so children could get information more easily. Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, making illustrations and developing the website. To make the learning process more fun, we chose interesting topics for kids, like holidays.
The hardest part was finding the children. I contacted schoolsi n Liangshan, Sichuan. I also reached out to children through some WeChat official accounts. I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned down, but I did my best to share our ideas.
In the end, we got the readers we had hoped for. Every time parent emailed us saying, "my child really liked the story", it gave us the strength to keep going. I hope our small acts can help give these kids a better future.
